The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

Lin Du slowly withdrew his gaze, looked up at the sky, the light had faded, and the Heavenly Dao remained silent.

She formally entered the path, and from then on, she always found the answers.

Han Yueling poked her head out, "You've entered the Dao? Do you still have what I ate?"

Lin Du and Mao Tuanzi both looked down at the Sky-Mending Stone beneath their feet. It had lost all its light and looked like an ordinary, rough stone.

Chu Guanmeng: ...

It was silent for a few moments, then let out a howl, "Gone!!!"

Its food supply is gone!

Lin Du pulled the spirit completely out of his sleeve. "Blame the Heavenly Dao for taking away all these power of rules. It's not that I didn't want you to eat it."

Chu Guanmeng, her eyes red, cursed, "That damned Heavenly Dao!"

Lin Du chimed in, "That's the way of the dog, Heaven."

Chu Guanmeng, filled with resentment, bit the edge of Lin Du's sleeve. "So, it ate yours, did it confess?"

"No." Lin Du lowered his head, feeling a little heartache as he realized his clothes couldn't withstand Chu Guanmeng's biting.

Chu Guanmeng howled and bit her sleeve, "That damned Heavenly Dao! They have no morals! They ate and left without even paying!"

Lin Du responded again, "Damn Heavenly Dao!"

As the two continued their back-and-forth, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the sky.

The senior brothers and sisters who were about to fly to find Lin Du were abruptly stopped in mid-air.

"That's... a blessing from Heaven??" Feng Chao was stunned for a moment.

"It's a blessing from Heaven!" Ju Yuan affirmed. "The primordial energy of Heaven and Earth has poured upon her; it's a blessing from Heaven. Our junior sister is truly remarkable!"

The moment she chose her path, Heaven bestowed blessings upon her; she was practically Heaven's favorite daughter.

Cang Li crossed his arms and said, "Why do I feel like this blessing is compensation?"

After all, Lin Du returned the power of the Heavenly Dao to the Heavenly Dao after setting up the formation, so he had to spit out some of it after taking it all.

Lin Du stood amidst the primordial energy, then waved to the group in the distance, "Come on! Let's do this big thing together."

Mo Lin and the others were taken aback for a moment. "Huh? Can we do this?"

"We all gathered the power of the fragments together, so why not! How can Heaven only compensate me?"

Lin Du was determined to take advantage of this opportunity presented by Heaven's Way!

She even looked up and asked, "On that day of the demonic tide, how many cultivators fought and bled, one after another? Aren't you going to compensate them?"

For some reason, Feng Chao strangely discerned a trace of Heaven's choking and speechlessness in the momentarily frozen flowing clouds and the blessing.

"You are the Heavenly Dao. Although the demonic tide was probably not driven by your fixed rules, but by evil spirits and the three poisons, the Heavenly Dao's power that caused the demonic tide has been returned. Don't you consider making amends?"

Lin Du continued to provide reasoned and well-founded arguments, which were incredibly convincing and left the Heavenly Dao speechless.

A few breaths later, Ju Yuan, Mo Lin, Yan Qing, Yuan Ye, and Jin Xuan all received the blessing of the Heavenly Dao above their heads, but their vital energy was noticeably thinner. Xia Tianwu, who was in seclusion on Tianrui Peak in the distance, was also summoned and went out to receive the vital energy infusion.

At the same moment, in the forbidden peach forest and among the surviving members of various sects and families, the Heavenly Blessing appeared above their heads.

Lin Du waved his robe with satisfaction and sat down, beginning to receive this blessing from Heaven.

Vital energy flowed continuously into her body, making her feel as if she had been soaked in hot spring water, giving her a rare sense of comfort and ease.

The meridians, which had been excessively depleted, were repaired, and the vital energy within the dantian was continuously digested, causing the little snowman's belly to gradually become round.

With a crack, the barrier of the minor realm shattered, and Lin Du successfully entered the mid-stage of the Huiyang Realm.

The blessing from Heaven ended at this very moment.

Lin Du opened his eyes and turned to look at the others who had also received the blessing.

Ju Yuan leaped into the air again and looked at Mo Lin, "Come on, disciple, let's have a spar."

Feng Chao landed beside Lin Du, and when she met Lin Du's deep, calm eyes, she couldn't help but smile and reached out to pat Lin Du's head.

Lin Du lowered his head the moment she reached out, letting his senior sister pluck his head.

"Congratulations on your choice of path. You're a big kid now. From now on, you'll have to figure out your own way."

Feng Chao said, "Now that you have chosen your path and are already the fourth Marquis, you must come with me to the ancestral hall to set up your memorial tablet."

There are many cultivators in the Spirit Realm. The first three stages can be achieved by relying on pills and rare treasures, but to enter the fourth stage, comprehension, ability, and opportunity are all indispensable. Many people spend their entire lives only to stop at the Great Perfection of the Cloud Ascension Realm.

Those who choose the right path need both good fortune and the approval of the established tradition, making them even rarer. A single person who chooses the right path can support an entire sect.

The Supreme Sect has many geniuses. As long as they are not killed by accident, most of them can reach the fourth stage. Therefore, the ancestral hall only records cultivators who have chosen the path above the fourth stage. They set up spirit tablets, infuse them with spiritual energy and a wisp of divine thought to form the spirit tablets. Those who are still alive in the spirit world enter the small pavilion. After ascending or falling, they enter the spirit pavilion to be worshipped.

The back of the memorial tablet will contain a detailed record of the disciple's lineage of cultivation.

After explaining, Feng Chao asked, "What path have you chosen?"

Seeing Lin Du's thoughtful expression, she added, "If you don't want it to be public, no one else will know except me."

Lin Du shook his head. "It's not like that. I was just wondering if I could have my name engraved on the back of this spirit tablet, a cultivator who made the Heavenly Dao fear and compromise."

Feng Chao: ...

I understand. Junior sister hasn't grown up yet. Go back and copy some more scriptures.

"I'm serious."

Lin Du's eyes widened. "I'm being serious too."

Feng Chao's face twitched slightly as he suddenly understood Yan Ye. It was no wonder that Lin Du always had a bruise on his forehead when he was a child.

Sometimes I really can't help but want to crack open her skull and see what's going on in her head.

"Dongzhen," Lin Du said.

"What?" Feng Chao was a little confused.

"I call my Dao Dongzhen," Lin Du said, tilting his head and blinking.

Feng Chao belatedly realized that this was a path she had never imagined.

Or perhaps, this Dao is too vast and distant; it has been almost never seen in the lineage of the Supreme Sect.

There was only one: the founding patriarch of the Supreme Sect, a cultivator who had seriously listened to the Dao Ancestor's sermons, was the first cultivator to establish a sect in the Dongming Realm after the fall of the ancient gods and the separation of the Three Realms.

Most of the disciples of the Supreme Sect chose their path from the Dongzhen Path, which is the orthodox lineage of the Supreme Sect.

Not only the Divine Firmament Path cultivated by Ju Yuan and Mo Lin, but also the Path chosen by Feng Chao and Feng Yi, all originated from the orthodox branches of Dong Zhen.

Thousands of years later, the ninety-ninth generation of the Supreme Sect also had such a trait of regression.

Having cultivated this source of knowledge, barring unforeseen circumstances, one will surely be able to ascend to immortality.

The only problem is Lin Du's health and lifespan.

Feng Chao patted Lin Du on the shoulder, a sudden hope for the long years to come welling up in his heart.

Does this mean that their sect... will definitely continue to exist for at least another hundred generations?

For thousands of generations to come, who wouldn't want their sect to endure and be remembered forever?

A rare glint appeared in Feng Chao's eyes.

A group of juniors also gathered around. Yan Qing was so excited that he wrote furiously, saying, "It has to be Junior Uncle! He can actually bargain with the Heavenly Dao."

Lin Du glanced at it and said, "Writing about me? Let me see."

Yan Qing put the booklet away, looking like a guilty dog, his handsome and upright face clearly showing his guilt and shame.

"Junior Uncle..."

Lin Du turned to him with his hands behind his back and smiled.

Yan Qing shuddered, straightened her back, and handed over the booklet with both hands, "It can all be modified, it can all be modified."

Lin Du glanced at it and asked, "What's crossed out?"

Yan Qing hesitated, then said, "It's written incorrectly."

Lin Du chuckled again, Yan Qing hissed, and Ni Jinxuan, who had been reading his notes, blurted out, "I know!"

Ni Jinxuan read aloud in a clear, melodious voice, "Heaven asks: What do you wish to do? Answer: Open the door, for it is your father!"

The faces of the people around them twitched simultaneously, and they silently took a step away from the center.

If Heaven is going to punish someone, it will punish the rebellious writer, not them.

Lin Du patted Yan Qing on the shoulder approvingly, "Well written."

She tossed the booklet to Yan Qing, saying, "If you eventually achieve this path and discover its true nature, your junior uncle will be able to move the world with a wave of his hand. Heaven will naturally obey my commands; that will all be trivial matters."

What is the source of all paths? It is the Dao that was born in the ancient chaos, from which countless rules of the Heavenly Dao were derived.

Once she cultivates the Dongzhen Dao, she will be the Mother of Heaven, which is perfectly reasonable.
